Killer7 is a game unlike any other. If you didn’t play the legendary PS2 shooter, then it’s almost impossible to introduce: it has elements of first-person shooter, rails shooter, and point-and-click gameplay. Developed by Grasshopper Manufacture in collaboration with Capcom, it perhaps deserves to be appreciated by a contemporary audience.
And it could happen.
As part of a presentation dedicated to Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, industry icons Suda51 and Shinji Mikami – who worked on Killer7 as a director and writer respectively – discussed their desire to bring the series back.
“Someday we may just see a Killer7 sequel – or a Complete Edition,” Suda51 declared. “I’d rather make a Complete Edition first. And then Killer11.” The pair then joked about whether the sequel would be called Killer11. “I don’t know. Killer7: Something, probably. Maybe Killer7: Beyond.”
While the conversation was mostly conducted in jest, Suda51 concluded that he believes there’s a market for a Complete Edition of the game. “Fans would probably love [it],” he contemplated. “That could actually be doable.”
